CHICAGO, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The national food poisoning law firm of Ron Simon & Associates, along with co-counsel, Pete Flowers of Meyers & Flowers, LLC, has filed the first salmonella lawsuit linked to contaminated Live It Up Super Greens dietary supplement powders. The lawsuit was filed in Kane County, Illinois. A copy of the lawsuit is available upon request.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Wesley Williams, who purchased Live It Up Super Greens dietary supplement powder online and consumed it in December 2025.
Live It Up Super Greens supplement powders with expiration dates from August 2026 to January 2028 have been linked to the salmonella outbreak and have since been recalled. Additional products may be identified as the Food and Drug Administration continues its investigation.
On December 15th, the day after his first child was born, Mr. Williams began experiencing symptoms consistent with a salmonella infection, including severe stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea. Very shortly after that, due to his worsening condition, Mr. Williams was forced to seek medical treatment at Northwestern Medicine Immediate Care in Sycamore, Illinois. After submitting a stool sample, Mr. Williams was notified by his physician that he had tested positive for salmonella. At that time, Mr. Williams was forced to quarantine for over a week to protect his newborn from possible infection.
Mr. Williams continues to suffer from ongoing bowel complications related to the illness.
Health Officials Identify Live It Up Super Greens Powders as the Source of Nationwide Salmonella Typhimurium Outbreak
On January 14, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), issued a recall of Live It Up Super Greens dietary supplement powders after Salmonella Typhimurium illnesses were linked to the products. Unfortunately, prior to the recall, Mr. Williams continued to consume the powder through early January of 2026.
On January 14, 2026, the Kane County Health Department contacted Mr. Williams and informed him that the salmonella strain he contracted matched the outbreak strain linked to Live it Up Super Greens powders.
According to the FDA and CDC, as of January 14, 2026, a total of 45 Salmonella cases across 21 states have been linked to this outbreak. Illness onset dates range from August 22, 2025, through December 30, 2025. Twelve hospitalizations have been reported, and no deaths have been confirmed at this time.

“Dietary supplement companies have a legal and moral obligation to ensure that their products are safe for consumption. When they fail, we hold them accountable.
